🗣️ 'This year was not as peaky because we knew from the get-go the car was not good enough' Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says his team’s tough F1 2022 campaign was less painful to endure than last year's title loss ⬇️
Asked by Autosport about which of the last two seasons was more painful, Wolff said: “Last year without any doubt, because last year was strong. And how it ended, within a couple of seconds, we knew that that's it.
Wolff thinks that it has been easier to accept things this year because the lack of performance has been entirely its own responsibility. “I think we understood it slowly but surely. We would peel one layer of the onion off and you think you solved the problem, but then it is the next one and the next one.
“So it was our doing. Last year Abu Dhabi wasn't our doing. We knew we got it wrong. We're conscious that others did a better job. And this is an absolute meritocracy, how this season ended up. So that is okay.”Photo by: Gareth Harford /This season was the first since Hamilton entered F1 in 2007 that he failed to win a grand prix.was not ideal, Wolff thinks Hamilton’s greatest achievements have come off track.
